GOOD MAN

What does it mean to be a good man?

What does it take to be a good man?

Just what exactly is a good man?

How could I ever be considered a good man,

  when I have done so much that is bad.

I have done evil.

I have hurt.

I have beaten down.

I have pulled down.

I'm not so sure you could even call me a man.

But this isn't me, this I know.

I know I am so much more than the sum of 

  everything I have done.

Although, sometimes I just don't know.

I forget myself, I forget who I am.

So far away from myself.

My own worst enemy.

I put and beat myself down.

I need to be saved from myself.

Can I ever be called a good man?

Could I ever be good enough to be a good man?

'Cause I just do not know.

Will I ever figure myself out?

Do I have what it takes?

To be exactly what a good man is.

I don't know what it is to be a good man.

I know I'm far from it.

But I keep on trying, just as long as there is 

  strength in me.

I will not give up just yet.

I'm not ready to die just yet.

I hope to one day to be considered a good man.

Whatever that may be.

I only hope that is how I will be remembered.

A good man.
